I'd like to start a conversation about these two terms. I do have an end point in mind, which I will talk about, but first I'd like to know if anyone sees a difference in these two terms. We know the verses that state faith is not of works, but many times we are told to do "good works"...

No, verse 17 and 18 are the end of what the new covenenant is. In verse 16 Paul quotes the Lord: "This is the covenent I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts and in their minds will I write them. ANd their sins and iniquitities will I...

Well, encourage them to go to Church and take their sons is the best thing. That's not ideal because so many Churches are like McDonalds. They'll serve you, but that's about it. I actually like Rockytopva's ideas. But the bottom line is that you got to get these men together with there sons...

Well, I see your point. Not sure I agree with it all right now, but it does fit from where I see... Still, while I'm not a Benny Hinn fan, what he said was right on and the Truth. I enjoy slapping these types of spirits down as much as possible, but Benny got it right for once and I'm...

This is very interesting, Prentis. I agree, but for reasons I haven't stated on this board yet. Here are those reasons. I've called attention to your post in bold fonts. The first one is a quote from James. We'd have to go through the history of the Lord's half brother to get to my point...

If you do not think Hebrews 10:26 is talking about one particular sin, but is talking about sin in general please make your case and tell me why you believe so. Here it was it says in full context: "Let us hold fast to the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithfull that...

Rach, I like your post, but I didn't get the impression that Prentis missed any points. I can't and won't speak for him, but I speak for my opinion that I think he gets it. I've seen a lot of growth from him in the last couple of weeks. If he's missing anything, he'll pick it up soon at the...

Pretty good post. I agree on many things in it. I have some comments about your Revelation quote. What is the "beast"? From my understanding it's government. What do you think it is? The exercise you suggested is a good one, and one I have done in the past. It's quite enlightening when...

No come on.... There is no need for that comment about sounding like a lawyer or pharisee. Your use of Heb 10:26 is without considering what verses 1-25 said, and especially verse 25. It's talking about one particular sin, not any sins of the flesh, which verses 1-24 state are covered by...

I absolutely agree and this has been a central belief of mine for a long time. Faith is not "positive thinking". It leads to it much of the time, though. You hit the nail on the head with saying faith is understanding spiritual reality. Good post!

Even the way you are reading it the message is still the same. Yes, every member should have an active role. For some (not all) that role is prophecy. For some (not all) there is the gift of tongues. When Paul asked those questions (Are all apostles? Are all prophets? etc) it was a...

Hebrews 10:26-29 is talking about one particular sin, which is not a sin of the flesh, but a sin of the spirit. Repenting from a sin does not mean you quit being a sinner nor does it mean you quit sinning.

Have a look at 1 Cor 12:27 through the rest of the chapter. The whole chapter makes the point, but specifically those verses. We are to be kings and priests, but in this life, we are in training for that. I hate to bicker over Bible versions, but I go by the KJV, and it has a slightly...

Hi Pegg, I'm coming from the viewpoint that not all are apostles, or pastors, or teachers. Yes, we are all being trained to be kings and priests. But on the calandar, most sheep aren't there yet, including myself.... I get a bit nervous even posting stuff because of that. He sent 70 out...

You too....

No they can't.... They can on the surface change timing, but not prevent them. Yet, it was ordained before the world began that the prayers of the saints would change them, so even in that sense, no. Nothing changes from God's original plan. God said he changes not, and even though heaven and...

It doesn't matter what answers I give to your questions (though I could). I politely bow out of further conversation. I can't deal with a person who claims the Bible has error, and especially those who pick and choose which versions they will use for certain verses (thinking that the person...

Well, I'll go with the KJV scholars on that point too.... Look, Being a scholar doesn't mean they DON'T have the Holy Spirit either! Which is your favorite version? I'm pretty sure it was written by a scholar. Furthermore, they didn't write the scriptures. They translated them. Think Joe...

Well, I'll go along with numbers 1 and 5.... Number 4 and 6 to a certain extent.... The only way I look to judge a Church is whether or not they are preaching and enforcing the Truth. I'm not against rule number 2 and 3, but they don't always fit.... For example, not all of the sheep are...

Yea.... Well I'll take the KJV scholars word on what was better over yours.
